This survey experiment aims to explore how people think about fairness in society. We are especially interested in how information about genes affects how people think about social and economic fairness. We hope to learn how scientific advancements in the area of genetics shapes people's attitudes towards society.

Participants in this study are asked to read a list of words, then sort the words into categories based on their vowel sounds (ignoring letters). We are trying to find out how different two sounds have to be acoustically before speakers consider them to be linguistically different.

Cities are hot during daytime in summer time - much hotter than their surrounding vegetated, often forested rural areas. This effect, the Urban Heat Island Effect, is determined by building materials, human activity, and urban vegetation. But how does it affect individual thermal comfort? We are interested in understanding relationships between temperature and thermal comfort in urban areas.

Evaluate night time hemoglobin desaturation (NHD), as part of routine clinical care, in subjects with sickle cell disease (SCD

The main objective of this study is to develop methods for forecasting passenger waiting times in TSA lines at RDU airport.

The TikTok Biology.UNC study is an educational study to assess students' views of the importance of science communication to the general public through a social media platform. Students enrolled in BIOL 101H.001 or BIOL 205.007 in the fall of 2021 will be creating TikTok videos as a required class assignment. Students will be asked to respond to surveys at the start and end of the semester, as well as after submission of each TikTok assignment, to gauge their views on the importance of communicating science to the general public.

We are conducting interviews with residents and service providers across Edgecombe and Robeson Counties to support the development of the Whole Community Connection Program.

The purpose of this research study is to assess the patient-level, healthcare provider/system-level, and community-level barriers to resolving abnormal mammograms and initiation of treatment of breast cancer in the 3 geographic regions of North Carolina: the greater Charlotte area, the Northwest, and the Northeast. These areas include the following counties: Anson, Cabarrus, Cleveland, Gaston, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Stanly, Union, Edgecombe, Halifax, Nash, Northampton, Wilson , Ashe, Alleghany, Surry, Stokes, Watauga, Wilkes, Yadkin, Forsyth, Avery, Caldwell, Alexander, Iredell, Davie, Davidson, Burke, Catawba, and Rowan. These barriers can include obtainment of biopsies and other diagnostic procedures for resolving abnormal mammograms abnormalities or breast symptoms, access to care providers after breast cancer diagnosis, and initiation of appropriate surgical, chemotherapy, and radiation treatments after diagnosis.

You are being asked to take part in this study because you previously agreed to receive a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drug, idecabtagene vicleucel (ide-cel), for the treatment of your disease as part of routine care and not a clinical research study. You had the blood collection (leukapheresis) (pronounced loo-ka-fer-ee-sis) procedure, your T cells (a subset of your white blood cells that are part of your immune system and attack things like infections and cancer cells) were collected and genetically modified in a laboratory in order to manufacture the ide-cel T cells for your disease treatment. The ide-cel T cells that were produced do not meet all of the prespecified release criteria to be used as a routine prescription drug as required by the governing health authority (such as the FDA) where you are being treated. For example, the modified T cells may have a lower cell

The purpose of this study is to examine pre-service teachers' meaning making and processing of experiences in the course of their individual processes of professionalization in the context of an experiential cross-cultural teacher education program called "Tricontinental Teacher Training (TTT)". The study aims at elucidating the role of uncertainty and dealing with uncertainty in new cultural and institutional contexts.
